ok so.. ill tell you guys what the mekor is of this holiday ( im sure youll go google it and prove me wrong), and you can figure out yourself if its cool w/you to shtell tzu. this was told to me 6 years ago by an extremely knowledgable christian teacher. i never verifie it but i trust him. (see above brackets). he taanas that it shtams from a holiday whereby goyim would dress up as a tradesman, knock on a jewish door offering services as a traveling carpenter etc. , and, when allowed entry, proceeded to kill them. nowadays they give candy instead. good holiday?
